All Signs

On Tuesday, a Solar Eclipse ushers in the Year of the Horse -- the start of the Chinese New Year, the Tibetan New Year, the beginning of Mardi Gras and Ramadan, which begins at sundown. The next day, the Sun moves into Pisces to stay for four weeks. We are also entering an eclipse corridor because the Solar Eclipse on Tuesday is followed by a Lunar Eclipse two weeks later on March 3. (This is also known as an eclipse portal. How cool is that?) This eclipse portal is about beginnings and endings when truths will be revealed and life begins to take shape. Don't rush things. Be patient with delays and reversals, Life will feel like it's moving faster, urging you to make a decision. And remember: even if you don't make a decision -- not to decide is to decide.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week you enter a four-week window, where you want to keep a low profile and work alone because your personal year is coming to an end. But lo! What news from yonder modem breaks? Tis the Solar Eclipse, a time of beginnings! Use the next four weeks to make goals for your year ahead. (This is an excellent idea because you're an action-oriented sign.) If you jot down some goals, you'll have a clearer focus on what's important to you. You'll have more clarity in your decision-making down the road. Goals will give you a sense of purpose (which you like). Zooks! Pick up that pen - jot down some ideas to help shape your future.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your popularity is exploding in the next four weeks by interactions with friends, groups and organizations. You'll be involved with younger people, and creative, artistic types. Now is the time to ask yourself, "Are these my people?" With Saturn in Aries, you are starting to let go of people, places and things that no longer serve your best interests -- including friends. Meanwhile, the Solar Eclipse this week takes place at the top of your chart giving you a chance to look at the progress you've made in the past year, and ponder where you want to be a year from now? You might also look at your attitude to parents, bosses, the police and the government. What fun.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The Sun is at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. (This is the only time all year this happens.) This symbolizes that you are being thrust in a flattering spotlight. (Oh yeah. This is very good.) It means that everyone (including bosses and authority figures) sees you as more competent, more capable and more attractive - even if you don't do anything different. Obviously, you can use this magic to your advantage! Make your pitch. Ask for approval or permission. Go after what you want. Meanwhile, this week's Solar Eclipse is the perfect time to travel, or make decisions about getting further training or education to enrich your world. Ideas?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The next four weeks will trigger your desire to expand your world. You might travel or make travel plans. You might want to get further education or training because new ideas will intrigue you. You might want to explore metaphysical, religious and spiritual teachings. You might be more involved with the law. Meanwhile the Solar Eclipse this week offers you a chance for healing in a transformative way. You might seek out a therapist or a bodyworker because this is a good time to begin a self-help program. With lucky Jupiter in your sign, the opportunities to do these things will fall in your lap!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

As the Sun changes signs this week, it might trigger compulsions that lead to behaviour that surprises you. Moments of self-inquiry could lead to deep changes in your life. In part, this is because you want to experience life on a feeling level. Intellectual understanding is not enough. You might even meet someone who will help you do this. Money and the resources of others will bless you. (That's a perk!) Meanwhile, this week the Solar Eclipse is opposite your sign prompting you to focus on your closest relationships. Remember: for a relationship to be successful, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Starting this week, the Sun will be opposite your sign for the next month. (This happens once a year.) Because the Sun represents your energy, and it is now as far away from your sign as it can get, this means you will need more sleep. However, fiery Mars is urging you to bust your buns -- but the Sun is not there to support you as it usually does. Therefore, respect your need for more rest. Meanwhile, the Solar Eclipse this week will heighten your awareness of your health. Are you taking care of yourself? You might also question your work habits and your attitude to your work. Remember - no matter what your job is, you are always working for yourself and your own self-respect.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For the next four weeks, you'll be motivated to work hard and accomplish a lot. And coworkers will help you. (Bonus!) Get ready physically and psychologically because you'll be pleased with your accomplishments. Your high standards will include your health as well because you need energy to work hard. This is a fortunate time for you because you'll feel increased self-respect through your work and your respect for your body. Meanwhile the Solar Eclipse this week urges you to play. (Whaat?) Why not balance your hard work with some fun? After all, we don't stop playing because we're old - we grow old because we stop playing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Lucky you! It's play city for the next four weeks! (Enjoy this because it happens only once a year.) Your primary drive will be to do what you want and set your own priorities. Get out and have a good time! Not only will you feel more lighthearted, your attitude toward your relationships will be lighter as well. New romance will blossom! Some will be more involved with your kids in a fun-filled way. An emphasis on home and family will be stronger because this is where the Solar Eclipse occurs for your sign. This is your opportunity to think how to improve your home and your family relations. Home is where the art is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

As the traveller of the zodiac, for the next four weeks, you might be surprised at how strong your focus on home and family is. You might be more involved with a parent. Home repairs and redecorating projects will appeal. You'll enjoy entertaining at home, giving you a chance to show off the treasures you bring back from your travels, and share your stories of exotic places and their inevitable mishaps. It will be easy to do this because the Solar Eclipse this week takes place in your House of Communications urging you to be aware of your speaking skills. Do not think that other don't want to hear what you have to say - because they do!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you're bursting with ideas! Your communication skills will improve, which is great news for writers, and those in sales, marketing, teaching and acting. Short trips will appeal, especially because your ability to appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings is heightened. This week's Solar Eclipse takes place in your Money House urging you to examine your attitude to wealth. If you think "easy come, easy go," then money might not stick with you. If you think "a penny saved is a penny earned," you'll have a lot of pennies. Why not give yourself a financial goal about saving or getting out of debt?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Money, cash flow, earnings and your possessions are your focus for the next four weeks. But at a more subtle level, you'll give more thought to your values. Does your stuff serve your needs? Do you need all your stuff? Are you defined by your stuff? Society places such an emphasis on stuff! To be happy and develop some inner wisdom, you have to know what makes you happy. You will feel the Solar Eclipse this week because it takes place in your sign. Old memories might resurface. Your dreams will get louder and realizations might suddenly "click." You might see you're at a turning point. "Second star to the right and straight on till morning."

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Ta da! Once a year for one month the Sun is in your sign and this begins on Wednesday. It's your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of year! It also means that you will project yourself with more dazzle, making an excellent impression on everyone. You'll feel a stronger than usual need to express yourself - and this is a valid need. Don't deny yourself this under some misguided concept of modesty. This is your chance to do your thing and enjoy yourself! This is also an excellent time to buy wardrobe items especially boots or shoes. Because the Solar Eclipse occurs in a hidden part of your chart, your interest in spirituality and your inner world will increase.
